Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 / Class 1 ; Section 15304 / Class 4
Reasons for Exemption
The project is exempt because it involves the change of use of an existing church to a Kindergarten through 121h grade private school. No expansion or
new construction of buildings are proposed. Approximately 3,935 square feet of the existing surface parking lot will be converted to an outdoor playground
for students. New 6-foot-tall fence and gates will be added to enclose the playground. No removal of existing trees is proposed. None of the exceptions
to the Categorical Exemption Under CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 applies to the proposed project. (a) Location: The project is not located within a
hillside area or the Santa Monica Mountains Zone. (b} Cumulative Impact: Per ZIMAS, the LADBS Haul Route Status Table, and Navigate LA, there are
no concurrent approved or pending projects or haul routes within the same place of the project site. The proposed Project will not result in significant
cumulative impacts from successive projects of the same type in the same place. (c) Significant Effect: The project will not have a significant effect on the
environment due to unusual circumstances. Most adjacent lots are developed with residential structures, and the subject site is of similar size and slope
to nearby properties. The project site is located in a typical urbanized area of the Palms - Mar Vista -Del Rey Community Plan, and the project would be
consistent with the designated zoning and would adhere to all requirements of the LAMC, with the approval of the Conditional Use Permit and Waiver of
Dedication and Improvements. Furthermore, there is not a reasonable possibility that the project would have a significant effect on the environment due
to unusual circumstances. The project site is not located in the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone. (d) Scenic Highways: The project is not in the vicinity
of a state scenic highway and will not damage scenic resources in a state scenic highway. (e) Hazardous Waste Sites: The project site is not on a list
compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 related to hazardous waste sites. (f) Historical Resources: Per ZIMAS, SurveyLA, and/or Historic
Places LA, the project site is not identified or eligible as a historical resource. The project will not cause a substantial adverse change in the significance
of a historical resource.
